1904.

Arrange different states of matter in the increasing order of their densities with appropriate reason.

Answer»

Solution :In solidsm the molecules are TIGHTLY packed. Hence, the number of molecules PER UNIT volume is more and desity is the highest. In gases, the molecules are very loosely packed and the density is the least. Molecules of LIQUIDS are loosely packed, but intermolecular space is much less than that in gas. Hence, their denisities are generally less than SOLIDS, but more than gases.

Aqueous solution of copper sulphate does not show Tyndall effect, while the mixture of water and milk shows Tyndall effect.

Answer»

Solution :Colloids are big enough to scatter a beam of LIGHT passing through it.
Copper sulphate solution is a true solution. The diameter of solute particles in it is LESS than 1 nm.
The diameter of solute particles in solution of water and MILK is up to 1 nm to 100 nm. So this mixture is a colloidal solution. Hence, aqueous solution of copper sulphate does not show Tyndall effect but the mixture of water and milk shows Tyndall effect.

Anhydrides of sulphurous acid and carbonic acid produce milkiness when passed through a solution of the same substance 'X' . When chlorine gas is made to react with the same solution 'X'. It gives a compound 'Y' having disinfectant action. Identify 'Y' and justify its use for the above purpose.

Answer»

SOLUTION :ANHYDRIDES of sulphurous acid and carbonic acid are `SO_2 and CO_2`respectively. They produce milkiness on passing thorugh a solution of `Ca(OH)_2`. When `Cl_2` gas is made to REACT with `Ca(OH)_2,CaOCl_2` (bleaching powder) is formed. Bleaching power on dissociation in water gives `Ca(OH)_2, HCI` and HOCI.Hypochlorous acid being unstable decmposes of HCI and nascent oxygen which is RESPONSIBLE for bleaching action :
